Curvusexual (prounounced “kur-vus-exual.”) is defined by a somewhat complicated horseshoe like attraction. This refers to one's attraction to individuals who are close to them, and attraction to individuals that one doesn't know, but one struggles with attraction to those in the middle. It is also defined by attraction to more than one gender, but in a flexible way as aforementioned. This could be all gender identities, or just two. Individuals who are curvusexual may have a hard time understanding their attraction.
Etymology
The term is derived from “curve”, referring to a horseshoe.
